A land of new opportunities

Derbyshire Developments is a homebuilder with a difference. We are a private limited company wholly owned by Derbyshire County Council and therefore our profits return to the public purse to support council services in Derbyshire. Our mission is to develop and sell high quality housing on the council's surplus land, working in partnership with commercial developers.

Derbyshire is a large, well connected, mixed rural-urban county in the heart of England. The M1 runs through the county and an HS2 station is planned for Chesterfield.

The county is bordered by the cities of Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester and Manchester and surrounds the city of Derby.

Our key business objectives are to:

Generate "profit with a purpose" because we re-invest in Derbyshire's council services.

Purchase land identified as surplus to requirement from Derbyshire County Council and other public sector bodies.

Create employment opportunities within Derbyshire, including for apprentices and Derbyshire care leavers.

Maintain ethical and environmental standards in specification, development and construction of properties.

We currently have two development opportunities available. We have recently identified a further ten sites for development and there are around 100 more council sites registered as surplus to requirement.
